Abstract
A computer network includes a server computer having communication ports that are wired to switch ports of two separate network switches. The network switches receive link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) packets from other network devices, and automatically aggregate corresponding switch ports into a port channel aggregation based on the contents of the LLDP packets.
